Outlook Attachments

As an email client, Microsoft Outlook has made a great effort to protect users from potential email problems like viruses, malicious scripts, and other related threats. To achieve this, Microsoft started blocking certain file types from being opened or executed starting from Outlook 2000. With the release of Outlook 2010, the number of file types being blocked has increased dramatically. While this approach may be effective, there may be instances where users want to open attachments from trusted sources.

This is where Outlook Attachments comes in handy; it is an add-on that allows users to open attachments that are blocked. The installation process is straightforward, and the operation is simple. If you receive an attachment that is blocked, you can close Outlook and use Outlook Attachments to allow the file type. After reopening Outlook, the file will now be available.

Additionally, you can customize the add-on's settings by adding your own file types to be blocked or allowed, as per your preference. For example, you can add file extensions such as jpg and mp3 to the blocked list if you want to block Photos and MP3 files. If you need to open them, you can move them to the allowed list anytime.

Overall, Outlook Attachments is a useful add-on that complements the in-built security features of Outlook, making it a must-have for any user who wants to access a wider range of file types.
